Kendricks no longer a Brown

The Browns late Wednesday released Mychal Kendricks mere
hours after it was announced the linebacker had been charged by the government
with insider trading.

General Manager John Dorsey said the club signed Kendricks as
a free agent even though they knew he was being investigated for what he called
“a financial situation he had been involved with in 2014.

“We were told Mychal had fully cooperated,” Dorsey said in a
prepared statement. “From what was communicated at that time and based on
numerous questions we asked . . . there was no information discovered that
conveyed otherwise.”

Dorsey said the Browns “were provided an update on the matter
and the circumstances have changed. We are now dealing with a different set of
facts and the additional information we’ve gathered has led us to the decision
to release Mychal from our team.”

Dorsey declined to delve into what he meant by a different
set of facts. “Due to the ongoing legal nature of this situation, we will have
no further comments,” he said. And that’s when he dropped the hammer on Kendricks' too-brief career with the Browns.
